Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 378: The terrible truth about the Blood Alliance!
, the fastest update I went to the latest chapter of Hogwarts, who was favored by Grindelwald!
Dark green vines crawl around every corner. The stone beam seems to be a part of the original gate of the castle, and the dark hole is the original position of the gate.
It is hard to imagine what has happened here for hundreds of years, making the originally tall entrance and exit look like this.
"Tergeo" Sean's spell removed moss and dirt from a boulder.
It was only then that he realized that this was not a rock rolled from somewhere, but a huge stone that was neatly cut, at least it used to be.
The opening of this hole was blocked by a boulder that was originally used as a city wall, and this is obviously not something that time can do.
Sean immediately thought of the baroness in that document.
The baroness killed Baron Skinner and absorbed the blood from the baron's body, but the baroness didn't have enough strength to support the huge force, she turned into a blood cell and exploded, dying on the spot.
The explosion destroyed the manor and killed most of the life in the area.
Is it so powerful... Sean frowned.
This abandoned castle occupies a rather large area. After all, Baron Skinner and the Baroness were wizards at the time, and it is not too difficult for them to build huge buildings.
Moreover, near the old castle, you can also see the remains of some former human buildings.
However, the death of the baroness directly destroyed such a large place, which is not something that an ordinary wizard in the thirteenth century could do.
Sean's mood became a little heavy. He knew that this was the power of the blood pact magic.
"Ultimate armor protection (protegomaxima)"
Placing a defensive spell on himself, Sean raised his wand and walked into the hole.
More than half of the castle had collapsed, and it was a little difficult for Sean to walk, but there were indeed people here, because many buried places had been cleaned up, and the traces were all new.
This is probably the road that Dumbledore once walked...
Sean walked in a direction he could barely discern.
The depths of this ancient castle that has been abandoned for centuries is even more gloomy, with collapsed stone walls, rusted and deformed lamp stands, ubiquitous vines, and the quiet, creepy atmosphere.
"Kacha——" There was a crisp sound from the soles of Sean's feet.
He looked down, and saw half of a bone that was weathered and out of shape.
"Reparo - sorry, buddy."
Moving this unlucky leg bone that had been repaired to one side, and walking two more steps, Sean finally found the place he was looking for.
It was the entrance to a basement, and apparently, Dumbledore had already entered it.
Into the basement, the smell of damp mold immediately hits the face.
"Man, help me clean up—" Sean pinched his nose and opened the ring, and a shiny head poked out.
The growth rate of magical animals is unexpectedly fast. The little airwing bird was only the size of Sean's fist when it was born, and now it has grown several times.
"Wow——(Have you eaten yet)" Airwing called happily at Sean.
The intellectual development speed of magical animals seems to be much faster than that of humans. In just a few months, Sean has been able to use the beast whisperer and airwing to communicate.
However, besides eating, Airwing's life goal is... to eat.
We can't let Dave keep playing with this little guy in the future... Okay, don't learn, just learn from the idiot.
"I will notify you of the meal time, come, help me to breathe here."
Airwings inhale the nearby air when they switch positions, and this means of survival obviously has other uses—airwings are able to filter out almost all harmful substances in the air, using their magical filter organs and miraculous skin.
Although the little guy is greedy, he still listens to Xiao En.
I saw that the airwing bird opened its mouth wide like a pelican fishing, and the skin on its chin and neck swelled rapidly.
Afterwards, it was like an exhaust fan in the basement and spit it out to the outside, and it didn't take long for the air in the basement to become much fresher.
"Nice job." Sean praised, "Ultimate fluorescent flash (lumosmaximum)"
Dazzling **** of light emerged from the tip of the wand. Sean swung it vigorously, and the **** of light floated around one after another.
The whole picture of the dark basement was also displayed in front of him.
When the old castle was turned into ruins, it didn't seem to affect this place too much. Except for some gravel by the basement wall and bookshelves that had aged and collapsed long ago, the place still roughly preserves its original appearance.
A dusty crystal bottle, an accidentally unrusted cauldron, a weathered and disfigured spell book, and even a few broomsticks with only their rods left.
It's like a witch's workshop in a medieval novel.
In the center of the inner wall of a room, there is a secret door that has been opened.
From the secret door to the entrance to the basement, there is a slightly darker trace.
Maybe Baron Skinner's wife discovered the betrayal contained in the blood contract through that secret door, and was dragged out...
Sean slowly approached the secret door, trying to find some useful information here.
Unfortunately, in the small room entered by the secret door, except for a stone platform in the center, nothing else was found.
Maybe it was taken by a researcher, maybe Dumbledore took it...
Sean was not too disappointed, this was something he had thought of before coming.
The point is, what did Dumbledore see here...
And Sean, who was looking around, finally found something on the stone platform engraved with strange brands.
"This is..." Sean picked up a fine metal particle with his fingertips.
He continued to search, and found many grains in various hard-to-find corners. These grains range from light silver to dull blood red, and it seems that the color has not faded due to the years.
"This..." An idea popped up in Sean's mind.
He raised his wand and pointed it at the particle: "Reparo"
The gathered particles trembled a bit.
For items that are too old to be broken, the effect of the repair spell will be greatly reduced...
But as long as it doesn't have any effect... Sean's eyes lit up.
"Reparo"
"Reparo"
"Reparo"
…
Thirty repair spells were thrown out one after another, and the fine particles finally reacted.
They slowly floated up, and then converged towards the center, and even some particles that Xiao En didn't find jumped out from other places.
The slow combination of particles, finally, an incomplete pendant appeared in front of Xiao En's eyes.
The pendant is still broken, and it seems that it was only reluctantly put together. Not only that, there are some gaps in the pendant everywhere, which are fragments that have not been found.
It's just that Sean's attention has been completely focused on the shape of the pendant.
The entangled chain, the silver shell with complicated patterns, and the blood-red particles that Sean found before are not gem fragments at all, but the center of the entire pendant... blood...
This pendant is so similar to the blood alliance token of Dumbledore Grindelwald!
The blood pact that Baron Skinner and the baroness made back then was a blood pact? !
No way, my guess... seems to be coming true...
Sean's breathing became heavy.
But before he could think any more, a gloomy and sad voice suddenly sounded.
"I really miss...the appearance of this thing..."
There can be no living people here... Sean turned his head abruptly.
A pearly white ghost is floating in mid-air, watching the pendant with his sad and sad eyes.
Flat felt hat, semi-circular cloak, robe resembling ancient Roman clothing, pantyhose and calfskin boots, this typical thirteenth century aristocratic attire made Sean immediately recognize the identity of this middle-aged man with curly hair and beard.
Lord Skinner...
Lord Skinner was haggard, with shriveled skin and a big gaping, shriveled hole in his chest, but he didn't feel pain anymore, only sadness.
It's not a returnee, but a normal ghost, Sean made a judgment.
"Skinner?" he asked.
Baron Skinner was still staring blankly at the pendant recovered by Sean, and after a while he looked at him and said in a heavy and sad voice: "Yes, yes...the next is that disgraceful Skinner..."
"Have you been wandering here in a ghost state?" Sean looked at the other party.
Baron Skinner was still immersed in grief, he nodded sullenly: "Yes, yes... I didn't want to communicate with anyone, but you restored this pendant, it was me and Corinna..."
As soon as the name Corina was mentioned, Skinner immediately covered his head in pain.
Sean immediately realized that Corina should be the Baroness.
He was slightly puzzled. It was mentioned in the information that although Corina killed Baron Skinner, the real betrayer in the relationship between the two was Skinner.
Why does the ghost in front of me look so painful.
The guilt of the betrayer?
Sean got closer to the other party: "Mr. Baron, what happened?"
Skinner was obviously in great pain, and he almost cried out: "I am a shameful betrayer, I betrayed my love with Corina... I am still a coward! A coward!"
I don't know if it's because I haven't communicated with anyone for so many years, but this ghost is extremely emotional.
"I, I...why am I confused...I'm a beast...beast..."
Sean silently looked at Baron Skinner who had suddenly collapsed, and finally said: "However, Corinna is dead, and you are dead too..."
Skinner collapsed and murmured aimlessly: "I deserve it... But she didn't deserve it, she didn't deserve it..."
Sean grabbed the pendant in his hand, and the unrestored pendant shook off a few particles. Baron Skinner rushed over with wide-eyed eyes, but the debris passed through his palm and fell to the ground.
Sean glanced at him, without any emotion in his tone: "It can't be repaired."
The latter opened his mouth wide, and finally sat down dejectedly: "It can't be repaired..."
Sean imitated his appearance and sat down cross-legged: "Won't you tell me?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he shook the pendant in his hand: "I can fix this pendant for you, and then put it here."
Baron Skinner stared blankly at Sean, and finally lowered his head dejectedly.
"There is nothing new, just a story of a shameful betrayer..."
In Ghost's decadent and painfully regretful voice, Sean frowned.
The story is really old-fashioned. Skinner and Corina were originally a couple who loved each other very much. In order to prove their love, they, as wizards, found a blood contract.
The blood pact binds the two of them firmly together, and they cannot hurt each other—this is not a problem for two people who love each other.
The problem is an ancient tome that Lord Skinner found.
Skinner, who is keen on the study of spells, spent a lot of effort researching that book, and learned from it the real name of the blood bond he and his wife made: blood alliance.
"Sure enough, Skinner and the baroness also formed a blood alliance..." Sean's heart became heavy.
From ancient times to the present, magic has contained the power of emotions, including anger, hatred, and joy, and of course love. According to records, the magic of love seems to have one thing in common, that is, the power of blood is used.
The blood alliance is like this. With blood as the medium, the two people who made the oath cannot hurt each other. As long as there is a little betrayal, the blood alliance will kill the betrayer.
"I, I found another function of the blood alliance, or that is its real function—" Skinner pulled his hair painfully, "I was tempted by the great power in that description..."
In the Ministry of Magic's evaluation of the blood alliance, there is a sentence: "Under unimaginable risks, a huge price will be exchanged for a high return. This is the essence of the blood alliance."
Skinner also mentioned in his own notes that "hate is based on love, exchanged at equal value, and powerfully added..."
Sean's breathing became heavy involuntarily. He stared at the other party, almost urging him to ask: "What is the real function?"
Skinner whimpered a few times without knowing whether it was cowardice or guilt, and he murmured: "There is another contract hidden behind the blood alliance..."
"Another contract?"
"Yes, yes..." Skinner lowered his head ~IndoMTL.com~ and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Love is the most powerful force in this world. This is the consensus of many ancient magics... Other powers are slightly weaker, even hate... However, there is a power that is stronger than love and more terrifying... That is—"
"Hate born from the deepest love."
Sean's pupils shrank suddenly.
Skinner murmured: "To form a blood alliance, as long as there is one party...one party will voluntarily give up this love, deceive yourself with the most powerful memory magic, give up this love, and leave the deepest pain for the former lover...I chose to do this..."
"When the blood alliance is shattered... the fragments are covered with the blood of hatred, and the new contract will take effect... At this time, call back your own love, and drink the blood of your lover who originally loved the hatred..."
Skinner looked up at Sean, no, it was the pendant in his hand, his eyes were lost, and there was endless regret in it.
"By your own hands... kill your lover with your own hands, let your lover's hatred sprout in your love, and you will get...endless magic power..."
